A robin typically sits on its eggs for about 12 to 14 days before they hatch. During this incubation period, the female robin will take breaks to feed while the male often helps by guarding the nest. Once the eggs hatch, both parents are involved in feeding the chicks.

The American Robin (Turdus migratorius) incubates the eggs for 12 - 14 days. The nestling period lasts about the same time, typically 13 days. That is when they fledge.
